I tend to play on my AYN Odin Pro, but I also like my RG351V for certain games and my ROG Ally has VRR, which is neat for getting the weird refresh rates to match old consoles.

Odin is so amazing. It's still a great purchase now. I have the Lite
Just recently picked up an RG353V. Works great though I have come to realize that the GameBoy form factor doesn't do well for dual analog sticks and trigger buttons. Playing Doom on it runs amazing but the way you hold it feels off. Same process as the landscape devices, pressed between your palms, but it feels less stable.
Other than that I've been basically playing it every night.
I printed this grip for mine and it feels so much better. I also replaced the triggers with the ones from Better Buttons.
I love my RG35XX. I'll stick with this until we have handhelds that can play the full (or at least most) PS2/Gamecube libraries.
love my RG353M, can't really see how the form factor for a pocketable horizontal device could be improved beyond it, besides a more powerful chip of course.
I'm still using the ol' GDP XD (the first version)
I suppose its a tie between the Nintendo Switch and the Analogue Pocket. 3dsxl gets an honorable mention for its unbelievable service record.
Cool
I really want one of these, or something similar in the near future. A Steam Deck would be nice, but that's much more expensive and hard to get here. Honestly I just want my PC's emulation power, but in a form I can lay down in bed and play while chilling. I usually go with my Switch Lite for that, but having access to hundreds of retro emulated games would be even better!
If you have the right device with wifi, you can stream from your PC. I do that a lot. It's a great solution for gaming generally but no reason it wouldn't be excellent for emulation too
I use my DSi to play emulated games. It works for what I want to play so far.
My handhelds of choice are the Analogue Pocket, the AYN Odin, and the Steam Deck. All three of them are awesome in their own way, and honestly I'm happy there are so many cool options nowadays for portable gaming.
I bought an Anbernic RG353M, installed ArkOS and I love it. It works great and is just small enough to fit in a pocket if you want to take it on the go.
My Android phone and the pizza boy application.
I recently purchased a Retroid Pocket 3+ but I haven't had the time to really set it up yet. I was hoping it was plug-and-play simnilar to a mini console I bought a few years ago that was ready to go immediately. Unfortunately the Pocket 3+ is going to take some time to get going.
The Android setup took a long time on my Retroid, mainly due to all of the tweaking. I got a Miyoo Mini + afterwards and it was so much simpler that I may stick to more Linux oriented handhelds, or ones that dual boot.
I only really have the Powkiddy X55 and the Nintendo 2DS XL. I like both but lately I’ve been enjoying the x55 a lot more. Great scaling for retro games and there’s a ton of ports available for it.
For a handheld the x55 is surprisingly ergonomic, though I kinda wish the grips went out further, more like a modern controller. I don’t really care about pocketability though.
My PSP 1000 kicks ass :)
I've got a homebrewed 2DS XL and a RPFlip, just love the clamshell form factor!
